Regarding Men of Iron's sudden blockade of Star System and forced data intrusion into all Imperium and Adeptus Mechanicus ships, Guilliman and Trajann Valoris immediately issued questions.
Not only questioning the illegal behavior of Iax, but also questioning what Kotov Sage Hope is.
After all, there are very few weapons in Imperium's records that can cause damage to Men of Iron's Titan Ship so easily.
The upset Kotov Sage was speechless when faced with the questions from Imperial Regent and Adeptus Custodes. All he wanted to do was figure out what happened to his precious Hope.
In fact, both Guilliman and Trajann Valoris had worried countless times that Imperium would be helpless in front of Men of Iron, but when everything really happened, even Primarch and Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes fell into panic.
In Guilliman's expectation, if a war breaks out with Men of Iron, Imperium will pay an extremely heavy price, and the scale and intensity of the war will even exceed Horus Heresy.
And Trajann Valoris has thought countless times about how they can defeat Men of Iron and protect Imperium with the Relic Fleet in their hands.
However, the reality is indeed so cruel.
Whether it is a relic ship or a Imperium battleship, all Machine Spirit lost their response under the Men of Iron data invasion.
The space forces of these Imperium were as fragile as they feared in front of these Men of Iron.
Iax knows very well that this time he has exceeded the stipulations of the agreement. Although the situation is special, he must give an explanation.
In fact, even Iax himself does not know why there is such a mandatory instruction set in his underlying protocol.
At that moment the priority of recycling Omnissiah's Key exceeded all instructions and protocols.
The basic instruction including protection Federation Citizens has been temporarily abandoned.
Maybe there are other secrets to his birth, but Iax doesn't want to pursue the secrets.
Men of Iron is a tool that plays the right role at the right time. This is the meaning of a tool.
As for why.
That has nothing to do with Men of Iron, and Iax is not curious either.
However when Quantum Communication is turned on.
The expressions of Guilliman and Trajann Valoris were still filled with tension and worry, while Kotov Sage had a look of disbelief.
He had just received images from other Adeptus Mechanicus ships accompanying him.
Hope almost destroyed a Titan Ship of Men of Iron with one blow, and then escaped into the void and disappeared.
This makes Kotov Sage extremely nervous.
After all, according to the information recorded by Adeptus Mechanicus, Men of Iron must report it.
Hope is his own ship. Although he doesn't know who gave the order, it is obvious that he may not be able to escape the involvement.
And what is even more difficult for Kotov to understand is the weapon that injured Men of Iron Titan Ship.
He had witnessed the battle of Hope with his own eyes. The Machine Spirit of this mysterious ship responded to his request and defeated the Aeldari warship with one blow.
I have also seen Hope use Chrono-Cannon, Antimatter Projector to prevent anyone from rebuilding the evil machine of Telok, and Sub-dimensional Weapon, which is so powerful that it can make the entire space area completely cease to exist, erasing everything.
But none of the weapons had the same effect as the images sent back by the fleet.
As the 'owner' of Hope, Kotov himself doesn't even know how many shocking weapons and devices Hope is equipped with.
However, Iax's explanation left everyone completely stunned.
When connecting to Hope, Iax not only accessed Omnissiah's Key, but also recovered a series of data stored in the ship itself.
This revealed the historical truth that Kotov Sage had been pursuing for a long time.
Omnissiah's Key was discovered at a time that was not recorded in the early days of Federation.
This is an ancient alien relic.
Through this peculiar mechanical device, people can visit a special space called Universal Database. According to ancient legends on earth, this space is also called Akashic Records.
The relic that opened this special space is named Omnissiah's Key.
The reason why Creator people entered the period of technological explosion is also related to this alien relic.
After that, countless fantastic ideas were realized and technology exploded.
The only thing that limits the development of Federation technology is human imagination.
And Creators are not entirely dependent on this strange alien relic.
They have acquired countless basic knowledge through this device and developed it through combination and research of their own abilities.
After all, only the technology you learn yourself is the best technology, and copied technology is meaningless to your own development.
Before Federation Dissolution War, Men of Gold decided to seal this dangerous creation on a ship, and then properly preserve the ship. After all, this creation can ensure that mankind has countless opportunities to rise again in the face of any situation.
However, the war broke out too quickly, and its scale was even greater than everyone's imagination.
Although the peripheral control system of Omnissiah's Key has been completed and the main structure of the ship has been basically completed, the ship was not completed after all, and the huge Omnissiah's Key could no longer move at that time.
In view of the critical situation at the time and the importance of Omnissiah's Key, Men of Gold, who was in charge of the scene, directed Engineer to embed the ship's manufacturing system on Planet to pretend it was an unfinished factory component.
After leaving a chaotic construction site in a hurry, they had to evacuate Planet.
However, Federation completely disintegrated within a few months.
Only at this moment did Kotov understand why the Giant Ship was in such bad shape when it found Hope, and was even connected to some broken buildings that were sunk in the water and on land.
Trillions of lives perished at the hands of Men of Iron under one order after another, and more than 10,000 worlds were completely destroyed.
Millions of Planet became devastated.
And this Planet was completely forgotten during the war.
The relevant personnel were either dead or missing during the war.
Then this unfinished ship was abandoned on Planet for tens of thousands of years.
Until the Kotov exploration fleet found this Planet.
Kotov Sage It took nearly a thousand years to put the ship together with difficulty using technology collected from everywhere.
Hearing Iax say that Kotov completed the construction of this Federation ship, both Guilliman and Trajann Valoris turned their unexpected eyes to Kotov Sage, which made Explorator Sage seem a little embarrassed.
However, this unexpected look soon became complicated.
Because Iax told them that Kotov relied on crude technology to build that ugly shell for Hope. Even due to technical problems, the design of many places on the ship's shell was very inferior, and the structure became extremely chaotic.
Facing the gazes of Primarch and Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes, the speaker unit of Kotov Sage could only emit bursts of harsh and noisy strange sounds.
But when Iax lifted Hope's Intelligence Core. Kotov Sage's servo arm trembled violently, and the mechanical prosthetic eye erupted with snowflake-like interference ripples.
"Impossible! Machine Spirit of Hope is just... just a sacred product blessed by Omnissiah!"
Kotov Sage immediately argued that it was just the Machine Spirit of the ship. Although that Machine Spirit was a bit special, he would never admit what it was Abominable Intelligence.
Abominable Intelligence, that is something that Treaty of Mars explicitly prohibits. Although many Sage are secretly tinkering with these things, no one dares to reveal it to the public unless they rebel against Imperium and join Dark Mechanicum.
But judging from the suspicious expressions on Guilliman and Trajann Valoris's faces, Kotov Sage could only pretend to be calm.
